I hope one of them doesn't snore... or chew gum.

Well, two heads are better than one, right?

and not a single neck between them

Zaphod Beeblebrox's twin, twin sisters.

poor wee bairns, they have a battle ahead

and I didn't intend the pun, but I'll still take all credit ;)

am i the only one that feels sad for them?

no.

We're gonna need two apples for this recipe.

So which brain runs the autonomic system? Wow.

Wait! How does that fit out the birth canal?!#8@#&_!#^&%$#!!!!

The head on the right as we look at them seems dominant.

why does all this crazy stuff come from china? IIRC, there was a guy there with TWO faces, ffs! What do they do? Eat DEET?

Nope. Thank God it wasn't mine.

Man, some people will do anything to get around China's "one child" policy.

[/tasteless]

that was out of control CF

and full of win

Exceptionally large population = more chances of billion-to-one outcomes.

I feel sorry for the parents most of all.
The little girls are as yet unaware that they are one of nature's cruel jokes, the parents are fully cognisant. And probably looking back with nostalgia on the days when the local hillside was an option.

[/insensitive]

Clicking through to the link, the doctors/nurses taking care of the twins seem to be wearing expressions of disgust. Although maybe it's concern. Looks like disgust though.

I don't see disgust. Concern with a little "Oh Fuck", thrown in.

and a tad of "eww, don't touch it."

Oh God, you people are killing me.

:sweat:

Apparently the parents chose to give the twins up pretty much as soon as they were born. They said they couldn't afford to look after such severely disabled children.

Also, according to the report Doctors believe it is extremely unlikely that there would be any way of successfully separating them.

There's a demon sweeping out a cell on one of the lower rings of Hell just for you:P

I still feel sorry for them. The death of a newborn is traumatic enough - but giving birth to a live baby with such an extreme mutation and knowing you've left it alive with strangers could at least equal that.

And no, I honestly can't believe they could be separated.
Even if they decided one human brain had more value than the other - some Doctors have to make those choices after all - the sheer task of replumbing would be prohibitive. I don't mean to be glib, just couldn't think of a better way to describe the diverting and restructuring of all the various vessels and muscles and tubes etc.

Left alone the child must surely die; one heart two brains - how could the circulatory system cope? It seems to me the kindest thing to do is let it go gently into that good night.

Oh I still feel sorry for them. I mean, what a fucking nightmare all round. That picture is a little window onto someone's personal hell (Not Clods, hers has higher flames ;P).

and sulfur

There's a "one cup" joke here, but it is pretty awful.

Oh, you're not calling Glatt on it, though. Why do you hate me? You are being mean to me. It is not nice. I will ask Mr Undertoad to spray wasp spray on your posts.

I can talk to the wasps. Mr sexxpert has showed me how.

You didn't win the writing contest fairly. You killed my landlord and then ate his breakfast. You are a bitter scorn person. I will get my writing trophy back and I will find hopkin.

:frog: Hopkin... :lol:
